Two Poems
Steve Malamude
Once I Expressed
Once I expressed
myself as someone
who had summered
with some artists
when poverty was
a thing of youth
and shyness
cost me nothing
o for the puzzle
of personalities
copping their buzz
on a regular basis
at the first note
of character
I was not floated
by art any more.
I Got To Know
Spring rain
washes the arrow
out of the head
of the snowman
it is the sign
that our case
has been
diagnosed
one has
another day
to acquiesce
I got to know
my colognes
this morning
and they
got to know me.
